High-Risk Assets

Definition

High-risk assets are investments characterized by significant price volatility and the potential for substantial losses, alongside the possibility of considerable gains. These assets typically lack a long history of stability or possess inherent uncertainties that increase their market variability. Cryptocurrencies are often categorized as high-risk due to their nascent market, technological dependencies, and regulatory ambiguities. Investors considering these assets must possess a high tolerance for financial exposure.
